Greek Stuffed Pizza

I will never grow tired of pizza and all its iteration. This one combines all the Greek-inspired greats!

Ingredients:

1/2 ounce ball of mozzarella

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1/4 cup Kalamata olives

1/2 cup feta cheese

3 ounces spinach

4 Mediterranean pitas

Red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper

Method:

Preheat broiler. Shred mozzarella on the large holes of a box grater. Coarsely chop sun- dried tomatoes and olives.

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.

Crumble feta into bowl with dressing. Add spinach along with sun-dried tomatoes and olives, tossing to combine. Set aside.

Lightly brush both sides of each pita with oil. Toast pitas directly on top oven rack until browned and crisp. Transfer to a cutting board.

Top 2 of the pitas with spinach filling and half of the mozzarella , then cover with remaining pitas. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and sprinkle remaining mozzarella over top. Broil on top oven rack until cheese is melted and browned in spots. Cut Greek stuffed pitzas into wedges and serve. Enjoy!

Leftover Cranberry Sauce Cookies

Like many of you, I made an entire Thanksgiving Day feast for only my husband and I. As such, I have an inordinate amount of leftovers. Expect my blog to largely star ways to dress up leftovers, because I have freezer meals of Thanksgiving day to last a lifetime. In this recipe, I was looking for a way to use up cranberry sauce and leftover walnuts from my apple crisp. Cranberry sauce drop cookies seemed the perfect thing to make; enjoy it with a cup of hot cocoa. I plan on gifting some to my parents; a way to break bread near the holiday without breaking protocols. Enjoy!

Samosas with Yogurt Sauce

I love exploring many kinds of cuisine in my kitchen because I can control the spice level, and in the case of this recipe, the use of cilantro. Cilantro lovers out there- sub it info the parsley here. I have the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap, which limits my ability to enjoy some dishes in restaurants, but is easily rectified in my own kitchen. I hope you enjoy!

Peek-a-boo Squares

My grandma, Mimi, taught me this recipe. I used to make this with her and my mother as a child. It is my very favorite dessert. It is incredibly easy to make, and even easier to eat. My favorite part of making this as a child was dusting every bar generously with snowy white powdered sugar. My favorite version of this dessert uses canned blueberry pie filling; I vastly prefer Libby brand over the store brand. You can make blueberry pie filling from scratch with sugar, cornstarch, bleberries, etc. but using the canned stuff is easy in a pinch and is much for nostalgic for me. Plus, I don’t notice a vast improvement over my homemade blueberry pie filling and the Libby brand; it just takes me longer to put this dessert together. I have been known to whip up a pan of these Friday night and have them disappear by Saturday afternoon. Be warned, these things are addictive! Ingredients: 3 cups of all-purpose flour 2 cups of granulated sugar 4 eggs 2 ...
